Palisade® Brand

YCR 4 | Alpha Acids: 6.5-9.5%

Released in 2003, Palisade® Brand YCR 4 is an aroma hop prized for its exceptional yield and distinctive character. It offers a layered sensory profile of citrus, floral, herbal, stone-fruit, and subtle woody notes, making it a dependable choice for commercial brewing.

While its citrus, grassy, and floral qualities are approachable rather than bold, Palisade® excels as a supporting player, blending seamlessly with other varieties to enhance complexity and balance.
